The Neko-ya — Japanese Cat House with Scratch Pad

The Neko-ya is a Japanese cat house made of sturdy recyclable cardboard, printed as a miniature izakaya — complete with a noren curtain entrance, a glowing lantern row, a Mount Fuji porthole window with a real brass bell, and a built-in corrugated cardboard scratch pad floor. A quiet retreat and a scratch-ready throne, from UK pet brand Whiskery Sour®.

Welcome to the Neko-ya

Every cat deserves a room where the door is a curtain and the rules are theirs.

Scratch pad by the door

A quiet hollow to disappear into, and a scratch-ready threshold on the way in. The floor of this Japanese cardboard cat house is a corrugated scratch pad — buy the house, save the sofa.
